turtle dove

/ˈtəːrtl dʌv

Genus Streptopelia, family Columbidae: several species, in particular the migratory European and North African S. turtur, with a reddish-brown back and pinkish breast.

The Red List also features a disturbingly high number of formerly common farmland birds which are rapidly declining: tree sparrow, grey partridge, spotted flycatcher, song thrush, skylark, linnet and turtle dove....

Meanwhile, interrupting the shadow play performance was the bellowing sound of a camel, the soft cooing of a turtle dove and the neighing of a horse.
When viewed from the underside, the collared dove appears grayer than a turtle dove, with black visible on the tail.

Origin

Middle English: turtle from Old English turtla, turtle 'turtle dove' (from Latin turtur, of imitative origin).
